I know this is a very very very very very very distant dream but what if we could customizing the appearance of swords, greatsword , pistols and weapons in general?
Like you buy some random generic sword or get it as a drop but with a high enough weaponsmith level (or maybe with transmutation stones).
Or maybe the mystic forge where if you offer a certain item combo (could be easy to get or very hard to get) he will grant your one wish and every characters just happens to wish for a personal weapon unlike any others.
And this would take you to a customization menu where you can alter all kinds of basic things about the weapon.(within reasonable limits ofcourse so no skyscraper lenght swords lol)
Just a example for sword/greatswords.
The lenght of the blade(in cases of sword/pistols)
The widht of blade
The Shape of the blade(you could make it curve , maybe have one of the those sword with a gap in the middle , maybe a zig zagging blade etc)
Blade patterns (all kinds of cool patterns , inscriptions(in all kinds of languages), blade dyeing )
Hilts: you know all those trash items like fins , and magled talons and porous bones and all that crap? what if you could collect 250 of them and make a hilt for your own personal blade out of it. Whats cooler then a weapon fashioned out of your unlucky opponents remains
Accesores: all kiiiiiiinds of stuff.
I know this prob wont see the light of day in this game or most mmos but let a man dream : p
Would you like such a system/option or have your own spin/idea about it?
